xmas2016-drones

Remote controlled planes and helicopters have been around for many years but they never caused the frenzy that we have seen with drones. They have invaded our psyche and become a part of our culture. This is the year that drones have emerged as a cultural phenomenon. You can quickly become the envy of your friends if you win one of the 3 incredible drones that Best Buy is awarding as prizes in this contest.

I am currently reading Dickens’ Bleak House, an amazing story that includes many references to 19th century culture. For example, on page 344 Dickens includes in his descriptions of the Smallweed family, a family that is basically born adult, presumably skipping childhood and childish things, numerous childish games and toys that were popular in his day:

“… her twin brother couldn’t wind up a top for his life. He knows no more of Jack the Giant Killer or of Sinbad the Sailor than he knows of the people in the stars. He could as soon play at leap-frog or at cricket as change into a cricket or a frog himself.”

 

I am sure that if Dickens was writing in 2016 he would include references to flying a drone. They are here to stay as more and more people are using them for more and more things.  Here are the incredible drones we are offering as prizes in this contest and some of their key features:

p3-standard DJI Phantom3 Standard: easy to fly, travels up to 57.6km/h, 2.7 k HD video, 12 megapixel photos, stream video to your phone, up to 25 minutes of flight time per charge
mavic DJI MAVIC Foldable Quadcopter Drone with 4K UHD Camera & Controller: Foldable, lightweight, travels up to 65km/h, easy to fly front obstacle avoidance, 4K video and photos

  8. I would love to win a DJI Mavic Pro for its automation. It makes it so much easier to fly than any other drone. Thanks BestBuy!

  16. In looove with the Mavic because of it’s foldability and easiness to use. Youtubers like iJustine really sold it to me!!

  26. I love that the DJI Phantom 4 4K can travel up to 72 km/h! WOW! Thanks Best Buy for the fantastic contest! 🙂
    Keep up the great work! Good luck everyone!

  28. I like the obstacle avoidance sensing system of the Phantom DJi4 4K. I would hate to lose it in the first little while.

  31. I love the 4k video! Would love to win one of these. My son has been wanting one for quite a while. What amazing videosI could take with one of these drones.

  35. What amazing prizes, seriously! I really love that the DJI Phanton 4 4K shoots in 4k, although I wonder if it has stabilizers for the 4k video version? I love that the DJI Phantom 3 standard has up to 25 minutes of flight time! That’s a heck of a lot more than most drones on the market! I also love that the DJI MAVIC Foldable Quadcopter Drone with 4K UHD Camera & Controller can avoid obstacles. It’s hard to choose just one feature because they all differ, but all offer great capabilities. I’d personally be happy with any one of these!

  41. Being able to capture in HD (especially 4k) would be amazing! I think that’s what I would be interested in the most.

  44. 4k video or full HD at 120 fps
    I live out in the country and would love some ariel shots of my house and neighbourhood. My son has been asking for a drone for 2 years now! Would love for Santa to pull through for him.
